video of Sessions quizzing Yates in 2015 about whether part of the duty of the Attorney General is to stand up to the president if what he is proposing to do is unlawful. Really worth watching. (Only about a minute and a half). It's the second video down.

BigBadgers, I agree with your speculative assessment at Tue 31-Jan-17 21:36:50 about what's steering Trump.

(Sorry, keep being out of synch with thread.)

BerylStreep · 31/01/2017 22:50

Crikey you lot, I can't keep up. I've just finished reading thread 3, then realised thread 4 & 5 are full, and 6 is almost full.

Can anyone summarise the last 3000 posts for me? Grin

PausingFlatly · 31/01/2017 22:51

Ohh, catgirl, that is genius.Grin

With a distinct risk of Armegeddon.

But genius.

Beryl Donald Trump is a very naughty boy, and you should have let the gardener build that bunker at the bottom of the garden...

It seems from the (highly) unofficial Twitter account that he's not .......appreciated by the Son In Law. (Which may or may not be strictly accurate but sounds highly plausible, I think?) If so, his WH tenure might be shorter than he would wish............

Oh yes catgirl I'm behind you there, he is just like a toddler. I think the attached image should be everywhere. He'd go crazy. It's my fave one at the moment Smile

this is a very trivial question but is bugging me. how ON EARTH does it take him so long to write his name on those EOs? because writing Donald J. Trump would take me about 10 seconds max, and he sits there writing for ages and ages.... my mum says maybe he's tracing his own name?

Now CBP/DHS in LAX have three court orders that it should be in compliance with, but no agency has acknowledged these orders.
So imm. lawyers went to US Marshal, the enforcement branch of judiciary, asking them to serve orders to CBP, but they refused...
.. saying they were instructed by Office of the General Counsel to await instruction from the U.S. Attorney’s office.

Does everybody understand how big it is that the U.S. Marshal service has been ordered to ignore judicial orders & answer to the executive?

If reports that US Marshalls are not serving Court orders are true, this is basically the end of independent courts

His sig looks like an earthquake on a seismic chart, it's really weird... it's been analysed, not good!

GingerIvy · 31/01/2017 22:59

hahaaahahahaha I've seen those - loved the puppet one, and the verse. There are some very funny creative people floating about. Grin

yolofish I think he likes the drama, so drags it out.

I do love how so many people have used 'what aboutery' and raised the ban on Jewish passport holders and the lack of protest there.

There are many countries around the world which have appalling human rights records. They treat minorities appallingly. Women appallingly. It's not just Muslim countries. LGBT people get jailed or worse in some Christian countries as well.

There have been protests about that. Look at that blogger who was jailed and lashed in Saudi. Our Government doesn't care. Protests aren't heard.

The USA has joined that list. That is so so sad. It's just become another bigoted country. When do we join that list?

Pres. Trump's trip to Milwaukee to visit a Harley-Davidson factory was canceled because the company feared protests

Sad, so sad.

Ha. DH thinks I'm unhinged but I think it could work. I'm going all out to make "President Banner" a thing.

If Trump is what I think he is he won't be able to take it. Once he's gone, Trump should be fairly simple to remove
